Matthew Gray Gubler truly loves his Criminal Minds family, judging by his recent interview with Glamour magazine.

In the special story titled "On a Date With Criminal Minds' Matthew Gray Gubler" the actor, who plays Dr. Reid on Criminal Minds, speaks very affectionately about his fellow cast members on the show. When asked to define what the show means to him, he highlighted the element of family.

"Wow. You know, it's funny you ask. It's so bizarre it has been on for so long because in no way shape or form does it feel like that. It still feels like day two. Family is the only thing I can think of to sum it up. It's a real honor. I love entertaining people, and that's all I've ever wanted to do. The fact that I've gotten to do this for a long time is so awesome."

He went on to speak about what each one of them meant to him.

"Every one of them. When you work this many hours together for this many years, you see each other more than your own families," he said. "Joe Mantegna is like my Los Angeles dad. Mandy Patinkin is so close to my heart. Early on in the show, he felt like my best friend. Shemar [Moore] s like my brother. A.J. [Cook] is like a sister. Paget [Brewster] is my best friend. I married her and introduced her to her husband."

Here's the official synopsis for the midseason premiere for season 11, entitled 'Entropy,' will air on CBS on Jan. 13.

"As Reid returns from Las Vegas, Nevada, he is put into a dangerous situation to help the team, by playing a vital role in what will be an elaborate, delicate strategy to eliminate from the world the network of hitmen who have threatened Garcia--the mysterious silk road derivative, 'The Dirty Dozen'--once and for all."
